My solution would be bring Spags back which I think he will be let go next year. Bring in a new OC which will get rid of our Low % deep down filed passing game that isnt working. Make this team more physical up front on both sides of the ball. We clearly got eaten alive up the middle of our defense. A DT priority for sure and some LBers that can run and tackle seeing we will be facing RG3 and more and more running QBs in the league.
I think the running game is actually pretty good when we actually stuck to it and committed to it.

How ironic that you use the standard of yards per game, and use our standing at 31st in that catagory, to suggest we need a new DC.

Then you suggest we bring in the DC of the defense that was 32nd.

Admit nothing. Deny everything. Make counter accusations.

We literally have 50 threads on the same topic all the time. I don't blame the mods anymore for not cleaning up the mess. Who wants to clean up all the same threads made by older people with no self-control anyway?

OK that hurts.

Yes we were 31st in total yards given up on defense (which is a silly standard)
But we were 12th in points against (which is more important) and we were 3rd in turnovers created (which is VERY important)

i hated how we gave up huge plays, but i still remember the days when this defense couldn't buy a turnover. despite its warts the ability of this defense to take the ball away is HUGE in my eyes, and with an offense that played more to its ability, we would have won at least a couple more games based on those turnovers.

and btw, great point on the dump fewell for spags argument.

spags has done nothing on any other team he's coached, and the pass rush he used so masterfully on this one is literally gone now.

Our defense is getting torched without a pass rush. PF places just as much emphasis on that as Spags did. Our guys just didn't get it done.
That's not on the DC.
I also think (as I have said before) that PF's defense works better in the modern NFL with more mobile QB's. A bunch of press coverage is a recipe for giving up tons of yards by running QB's.

Umm how about Fewel and the D line coach help him ?? I dont understand why they need outside retired player to what motivate a million dollar player ? or is it tactical advice ?. Either way it seems shocking that we need to do this.

Here is a suggestion why dont you send all our lbers to LT to get some advice.

Why is it so shocking that they would reach out for advice to a HOF DE?

I don't think its a problem really, i think the problem most fans have with this is....Leave the man alone! he is retired and like someone said earlier, why would you need to motivate a young million dollar rich player? He had 16 sacks last year and you would think a hungry player like JPP should look to match that or shoot to break his personal record. Why would you need someone to motivate you?

It isn't about motivation (necessarily), it's about how to still get production while fighting through double and triple teams.
